Why did Jhon Hancock sign his name so big on the Declaration of independence?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In reality, John Hancock was extremely wealthy and risked it all on the success of the American Revolution. On May 24, 1775, he began serving as president of the Second Continental Congress. This was the group that approved the Declaration of Independence.It's just the way Hancock signed his name. It was in the center, since it was the first and only signature at that time. The other 55 delegates didn't sign the Declaration until August 2, 1776, or later.
